Where to drink: Dukes London Mayfair Boutique Hotel

10. Where to drink: Dukes London Mayfair Boutique Hotel [Info]
Dukes London Hotel, tucked behind St James's Street, arguably serves one of the best martini's in London. (Legend has it that Ian Fleming got the idea for the "shaken, not stirred" Martini, used in all James Bond films, from his time spent drinking one too many martinis at Dukes.) The bar is known for attracting American executives traveling to London on business, and the cocktail bar, pretty much every day of the week, is packed with limited seating available. Our recommendation: If this is your first time at Dukes, definitely go for one of their classic, dry martinis. All of the martinis are prepared in front of you on a small wooden trolley that gets wheeled to your table. Dukes London Hotel, 35 St James's Place, London SW1A 1NY, +44 20 7491 4840
